What is Ultherapy?
Ultherapy is an amazing new procedure that uses ultrasound and the body’s own natural healing process to lift and tighten loose skin on the eyebrow, neck, and under the chin. The result is a facelift without surgery (also known as an “uplift”). It is noninvasive and does not break the skin. Ultherapy is the only FDA-cleared procedure to lift skin on these particularly hard-to-treat areas of the face. Over 200,000 patients have benefited from Ultherapy.
We offer Ultherapy to all residents in Puyallup, Tacoma & South Hill, and surrounding cities. Unlike other facilities that offered Ultherapy treatments, Dr. Domondon is officially certified and trained in Ultherapy and can maximize results. Unlike other facilities, Dr. Domondon offers other treatments that, when combined with Ultherapy, can make the results even more dramatic.

Am I a Good Candidate for Ultherapy?
If you are looking for a nonsurgical approach to enhance your appearance and achieve rejuvenated skin, you may be a great candidate for ultherapy at Concordia Star Medical Aesthetics. Ultherapy is a suitable option for Puyallup, WA individuals who are looking for a noninvasive alternative to a traditional facelift. Ultherapy offers natural-looking results without the need for incisions or downtime, making it an appealing choice for those seeking subtle yet significant improvements in their facial contours. Ultherapy can benefit you if you are experiencing mild to moderate skin laxity, such as sagging jowls, loose skin on the neck, or drooping brows. The treatment stimulates collagen production deep within the skin, resulting in gradual tightening and firming effects.
How Does Ultherapy Work?
Ultherapy uses ultrasound technology to target the deep structural skin tissues where collagen resides. The handpiece bypasses the surface of the skin, unlike lasers which penetrate the skin from the outside in. Ultherapy works from the inside out to lift and tighten the skin. No cutting, no incisions, absolutely noninvasive!
The procedure uses a smooth ultrasound device that is placed on your skin. This handpiece allows the practitioner to “see” the area to be treated. That same device is also used to deliver tiny deposits of focused ultrasound energy at just the right depth below the skin — the same foundational layer that a surgical facelift addresses. Your body reacts to this energy by stimulating the growth of fresh, new collagen, which results in a tightening and gradual lifting of the skin. Your results will be a youthful look and a form-fitting shape with the skin tightening and lifting from Ultherapy.
Ultherapy VS. FaceLift
While Ultherapy is not a replacement for surgery, it is a viable option for those not ready to go under the knife. Think of Ultherapy as an "uplift" as opposed to a facelift.
The best candidates are those whose skin has “relaxed” to the point of looking and feeling less firm. These areas are usually the skin on the eyebrows, the neck, and under the chin. Those in their 30s experiencing mild to moderate skin laxity, those who are younger but want to “stay ahead of the game” with skin tightening, and those looking to prolong the effects of cosmetic surgery are also good candidates.
How Long Does an Ultherapy Session Take?
A typical Ultherapy session takes around 60 – 90 minutes, but it does depend on the area and the plan determined. The length of time needed will be determined at your consultation.
What Happens During an Ultherapy Session?
During the procedure, the skin is cleansed and specific areas are identified. An ultrasound gel is applied to the smooth handpiece and is placed upon your skin. Focused ultrasound energy bypasses the surface of your skin, and is delivered to pre-planned depths within the tissue below to stimulate collagen growth.
Since Ultherapy is a non-invasive skin tightening treatment, there is no downtime and you can return to your normal daily activities immediately. Your skin may appear flushed right after the treatment, but any redness should disappear within a few hours.

Ultherapy FAQ
When will I see results?
Ultherapy starts its healing process immediately, during your first treatment session. However, because of the gentle nature of this process, you will start to notice the benefits of the treatment within a few months of the first procedure.
What areas can Ultherapy treat?
There are a number of treatment areas Ultherapy can be used for, such as your neck, face, and chest. This treatment is approved by the FDA for tightening skin and creating a younger-looking appearance. Therefore, this is a great treatment option for any areas showing aging or with an excess of looseness and wrinkles.
Will I need multiple Ultherapy treatments?
The number of sessions you need will depend on your skin condition and aesthetic goals. Generally, most patients who still have a good skin tone see significant results with a single treatment. For those who show more symptoms of aging, several treatments may be needed to produce the desired result.
